Enjoy a day where adrenaline will fill your day and for which you will not have to plan anything except entering the route in the navigator, since you will have all the materials and a qualified guide who is an expert in both adventure sports.

We begin our Oncean multi-adventure facing the Furco ravine, easily accessible from the town of Broto, a town in the Pyrenees . This ravine has a elevation of 150 meters, and with a very short approach distance (5 to 10 min) since We are talking about a short ravine, but do not underestimate it because it is of high intensity.

Well, what are we going to face? The fabulous Furco ravine opens its arms to us in the best way it can, two waterfalls take us into a depression in the shape of an amphitheater, in which the vegetation takes on a sublime role. We will descend them by rappel, crossing a gap of 25 meters that will leave us in an intermediate pool.

We will move covering another rappel of 10 meters without fear, towards one of the most enclosed and horizontal areas of this route canyoning. We end up towards two waterfalls that we will use as slides (7 meters) and here we find a stone that resembles a trampoline where we can make an 8 meter jump, although you also have the option of doing it by rappelling. strong> no problem.

Once we have finished this Furco ravine, which represents a classic of canyoning, we will approach the via ferrata of Sorrosal at just just 5 minutes from the Furco ravine.

The via ferrata of Sorrosal is considered one of the most beautiful and for more advantages, it does not require a very advanced level. To begin with, we will find two small projections with staples anchored to the wall. Because this section tends to be slippery and the rocks are loose, we will make the area easier for you using chains. It seems more complicated than it really is, but really the beginning of this via ferrata is simple.

We will move further and further away from the ground, until we reach some stairs that go up vertically. Look around you because you are going up next to the majestic Sorrosal waterfall.

By climbing these stairs we will reach “La Mina”, a 25-meter tunnel, excavated inrock that takes us into the Sorrosal ravine itself, for this area you will be well dressed with your headlamp. When we emerge from the darkness of the tunnel we will find ourselves (secured to the life line) with the incredible bed of the ravine. We will advance 20 meters until we find a fun Tibetan bridge that will help us cross to the other side of the ravine. With adrenaline and a wet face, we will have overcome the first section of the Sorrosal via ferrata.

Shall we continue? We will have to locate a rope that will show us the way, here we will find a vertical section of a 5 meter high wall. The next challenge will be horizontal and fun, we will reach some inclined plates where we will test ourselves.

We will descend surrounded by vegetation along an oak path, we will stop in front of a wooden door (close as you pass) that will allow us to face the last part of the Sorrosal ferrata , a side road.

The end of the section is very simple and has unparalleled views of the Broto Valley and the Sorrosal Waterfall.

Remember, this via ferrata is prohibited from being done the other way around. From here a path surrounded by pine trees will take you to Broto (20 minutes)

What a day! Enjoy the majesty of the Pyrenees like never before.
